pitbull4x4 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Here's reason I'm asking. My 4.0 that was original to truck had a warped head, block and piston problems so found a 97 Cherokee 4.0 that was rebuilt with around 40,000 off craigslist. Put it in last spring and about a month ago got a bad knocking. Guys going to pull motor (I have no garage) and see whats causing it. It has been bored so think if cylinders are bad will need a new engine again. Been pricing 4.0 and they are $1,400 and up. Its a 2WD, auto If I could find a good running 318 would it fit and whats all involved ? I'm not a chevy guy so no to a smal block chevy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pitbull4x4 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Share Posted February 28, 2016 After reading all the work going into a 318 think a 4.0 will be best. Thanks for the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
